Torian Graham sighting! More people will read this article than will see him play.
It is almost May of 2014…so, we are three years removed from the very first time that Torian Graham’s name ever hit StateFansNation in May of 2011 with this entry. Since then, Graham de-committed and re-committed so many times that nobody can genuinely keep count. You think I’m joking? It wasn’t a joke when we […]
Parity in College Basketball
During one of the studio sessions this past season ESPN posed the question, “Have the mid-major schools reached parity with larger schools?” to Digger and Bilas. Digger chose to argue for parity using Butler and Wichita State as proof. Bilas argued against mostly by saying that parity required more than just two examples. The time […]
NCAAT Montage of Buzzer Beaters
This is a great montage of NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters. I’m not sure it’s impressive or just plain awesome that I remember seeing most of these live. One of the things I most miss about the NCAA Tournament — with its move several years back to the generic courts for all games — is the […]

But even Dickie V couldn’t find a mid-major to champion this year. Everyone was so upset over Louisville and Kentucky’s seeds that they apparently had no […]

A Closer Look at Unbalanced Schedules
Ever since the ACC dropped the round-robin regular season schedule, the actual strength of each team’s conference schedule varies based on which teams are played twice. One month into the regular season, we took a quick look at what was happening based on calculations posted at cbssports.com. But last Monday, CBS took the conference SOS […]
Last Look at the Bubble
Well we’ve reached the end of the regular season and this will be our last bubble/conference update of the year. Doing these weekly updates has skewed my normal outlook on the season. Other than State wins, I found myself pulling for whatever outcome would lead to an interesting conversation. Obviously, I shouldn’t have wasted the […]
BJD95 2013-14 All-ACC Hoops Selections
Good morning, all. I almost decided to be lazy and not post these this year, but we need to pass the time until Buckets rightly gets honored.
Player of the Year: TJ “Buckets” Warren, NC State
Until the last two weeks, this was an item for lively debate, with logical cases to be made all around.
